Ravensburger Solar System Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults - 500 Pieces - Unique Design, Perfect Fit

Discover out-of-this-world teaching tools with our "Golden Solar System" puzzle! From a medieval astronomical clock to a golden, modern orrery, having visual aids makes it easier to learn complex concepts like the workings of the universe. Early scientists once believed that the Earth was at the center of our solar system, but in 1514, astronomer Copernicus revolutionized this idea by placing the Sun at its center. The first modern mechanical model of the solar system was created in the early 1700s and named after its patron, the Earl of Orrery.

An orrery presents the planets as viewed from outside the solar system in an accurate scale model of periods of revolution (though the planets' sizes and distances are necessarily inaccurate). Typically driven by a clockwork mechanism, an orrery features a globe representing the Sun at the center and a planet at the end of each arm. Clockmaker George Graham is credited with creating the first orrery (also known as a planetarium) that could demonstrate the proportional motion of the planets around the Sun.
